I don't know this hstate stuff, but this doesn't look the same?

static int walk_hugetlb_range(unsigned long addr, unsigned long end, {
        struct hstate *h = hstate_vma(vma);
        unsigned long hmask = huge_page_mask(h); // aka h->mask

                        err = walk->hugetlb_entry(pte, hmask, addr, next, walk);

And the first place I found setting h->mask is:

void __init hugetlb_add_hstate(unsigned int order) {
	h->mask = ~((1ULL << (order + PAGE_SHIFT)) - 1);

Compared with
    mask = huge_page_size(h) - 1;
         = ((unsigned long)PAGE_SIZE << h->order) - 1

Looks like hmask == ~mask

?
